And in regards to your answer, I question: ‘Why did you only ask authors?’ and ‘Can someone be a ‘real’ writer without being published?’
^.^ I’m not trying to attack you. I’m simply curious because it’s one of those topics that we are constantly running around in the writing world, you know?

All good. I’ve also asked that question to fellow new writers as part of my Siblinghood of the World Blogger questions. I wanted to see whether being published made authors feel like a “real” writer or whether publishing is irrelevant.
